Leaving the teahouse, Chen Xing wanted to send Xiaohong home, but was politely rejected by the other party, the little girl was obviously afraid of being seen, Wang Cai's warning was still in her ears, Xiaohong told Chen Xing what she saw that night, not only was her heart not easy, but she was even more depressed, she felt worthy of her good friend Zhang Ying, but she was now more afraid that Wang Cai would know about it and attract revenge.

Chen Xing somewhat guessed the psychology of the other party, and could only comfort the other party, although the pale and weak language did not seem to be of much help, but Chen Xing could only do this at the moment, if Wang Cai was really a murderer, only by bringing Wang Cai to justice could he eliminate the fear in the other party's heart.

The next day, Chen Xing had an early morning, this morning, Zhong Ling will take the flight from Yangcheng to Haicheng back, and will arrive in Haicheng at about 11 o'clock at noon, Chen Xing did not tell the other party to go to the airport to pick up the plane, but he had already planned to give the other party a surprise attack, Chen Xing promised Zhong Ling to come to Ximen again to investigate, but also tight, this former middle school teacher, now the general manager of the group, what he thinks is not the same as before, Chen Xing is not sure whether he can convince the other party just by relying on that friendship.

But in any case, Chen Xing still has to do his best to receive this God of Wealth who is dragging funds in his hands, and if Zhong Ling can invest, it will at least solve part of the financial problem for the construction of the tourist area.

Zhong Ling will not arrive in Haicheng until noon, but Chen Xing took a car from Ximen to Haicheng at seven o'clock early, and tried to make a phone call to the general office of the municipal party committee yesterday afternoon, wanting to make an appointment to see Huang Kunming, secretary of the municipal party committee, Chen Xing originally thought that he would have to wait at least a day or two to see him, but he did not expect to receive a call from the general office of the municipal party committee before getting off work yesterday evening, and Huang Kunming, secretary of the municipal party committee, gave him half an hour from half past eight to nine in the morning.

Chen Xing can only get up early, holding the information about the construction of the tourist area that has been prepared for a long time, Chen Xing is planning to persuade Huang Kunming, to see if he can get funds from the city's finances, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, Chen Xing is not afraid of less money now, it is better if there is more money.

The car entered the compound of the municipal party committee, it was less than 8 o'clock, Chen Xing came to wait outside Huang Kunming's office, this was his first meeting with Huang Kunming, Chen Xing undoubtedly had a good attitude, what kind of temperament is the new head of Haicheng, Chen Xing still did not understand at all, today to meet with Huang Kunming, Chen Xing is actually a little apprehensive in his heart, the new secretary of the municipal party committee will undoubtedly have a great impact on his future development.

Chen Xing was waiting outside Huang Kunming's office door, at this time, a young man also walked over from the corner of the stairs, looking about the same age as Chen Xing, seeing someone standing outside Huang Kunming's office door early in the morning, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was sudden, and he walked to Huang Kunming's office and stopped, the young man looked at Chen Xing slightly, with a smile on his face, and asked with a little tentative, "County Magistrate Chen?" ”

"You are?" Chen Xing's face was stunned, and he looked at the strange man in front of him suspiciously, he knew a lot of staff members, but there was no such person in his impression.

"Zhao Bin, secretary of Kunming." The young man smiled and stretched out his hand, introducing himself succinctly.

Chen Xing's expression was surprised, the man in front of him who looked about the same age as him would be Huang Kunming's secretary, the surprise in his heart can be imagined, stretched out his hand to hold with the other party, Chen Xing secretly looked at the other party, and muttered the name Zhao Bin in his heart, in fact, he is not unfamiliar with this name, he has heard it a few times before, but this is the first time he has seen Zhao Bin, the enthusiasm on his face is needless to say, this is Huang Kunming's secretary, and he will have to find opportunities to move around with the other party more in the future.

The two were observing each other, and the secretaries of the two municipal party committee secretaries stood together, which made the municipal party committee staff passing by couldn't help but be surprised.

"Secretary Kunming is almost here, County Magistrate Chen will sit in the reception room." Zhao Bin slowly stretched out his hand, for Chen Xing, he had already heard that the promotion route that the other party is taking now is exactly what he expects, being a secretary to the leader is nothing more than to find a good future for himself in the future, it is already good to be able to delegate to the local government as a deputy position, like Chen Xing has successfully climbed up in such a short time, Zhao Bin is really envious of the other party's official luck.

"Okay, thank you Secretary Zhao." Chen Xing nodded.

The two walked to the lounge, Zhao Bin chatted with Chen Xing for a word or two, looked at the time, Huang Kunming should have arrived, so he got up and left first, Chen Xing was observing the most trusted person around Huang Kunming from beginning to end, although he was not in the municipal party committee, but he was not ignorant of the situation of the municipal party committee, how to say that he also worked in the municipal party committee for a period of time, and now there are still many channels that can keep abreast of the news of the municipal party committee, this Zhao Bin followed Huang Kunming from Ancheng, in Haicheng, a place where he is not familiar with life, Zhao Bin is afraid that he is more and more trusted by Huang Kunming, and the other party should be able to exert a lot of influence in front of Huang Kunming.

Chen Xing pondered how to find an opportunity to get close to Zhao Bin in private, and after being stunned, Zhao Bin had already walked in again, "County Magistrate Chen, Secretary Kunming is waiting for you in the office." ”

Chen Xing nodded, thanked Zhao Bin, held the information tightly in his hand, and when he walked to the door of Huang Kunming's office, Chen Xing subconsciously lightened his steps, for fear of disturbing Huang Kunming, who was bowing his head to work, and looked at this office carefully, in fact, it is not much different from other offices, except that it is slightly spacious and more atmospheric, it is nothing more than an ordinary office business.

But because of the owner of this office, this ordinary office is not ordinary, when looking up at the party flag and national emblem on the wall, Chen Xing felt a different solemnity and solemnity, not so much that Chen Xing is in awe of the solemn holy spirit of the party flag and the national emblem, but that Chen Xing is in awe of the strict hierarchy in the system, in awe of the power in the hands of superior leaders.

Chen Xing stood still in front of Huang Kunming's desk gently, looking down at Huang Kunming, who looked down at the text, he didn't seem to notice, holding a pen in his hand, and scribbling on a piece of information, as if he was making some key marks.

Chen Xing didn't count the time, and after a few minutes of effort, Huang Kunming slowly raised his head and glanced at Chen Xing, Huang Kunming nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair, "Sit." ”

Chen Xing pulled out a chair and sat down, his movements seemed very careful, for fear of making too much noise, he glanced at the other party quietly, Chen Xing put the information in his hand on the table with a humble expression, and saw that Huang Kunming did not mean to speak, Chen Xing thought about it, and then said directly, "Secretary Huang, our county plans to plan and build a tourist scenic spot." ”

Chen Xing spoke, looking at Huang Kunming's expression, only to see that Huang Kunming did not react much, paused slightly, and Chen Xing quickly organized the language to say the idea of building a tourist area.

Huang Kunming took the information that Chen Xing put on the table and glanced at it, and said lightly, "Tourism has increasingly become an important pillar industry in Haicheng, and you want to focus on the development of tourism in Ximen County, I support it, well, you have this idea very well, and you have also come up with a practical plan, by the way, have you communicated your ideas with Mayor Yiping in time." ”

Huang Kunming's speech was like teleportation, and it suddenly turned to Zhao Yiping, Chen Xing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Not yet, as soon as this plan comes out, I want to report to Secretary Huang in time first." ”

Answering Huang Kunming's words, Chen Xing was a little happy in his heart, it stands to reason that he, the acting county magistrate, is responsible for government affairs, and if he wants to report his work, he has to go to Zhao Yiping first, but Chen Xing came directly to the municipal party committee, in addition to being there because of the previous relationship with Zhao Yiping, Chen Xing also saw the open and secret struggle between Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping, he chose to come directly to the municipal party committee, just to see this, sure enough, although Huang Kunming still can't see obvious joy and anger, Chen Xing still felt that the other party's attitude had changed slightly.

"If you want to build a tourist area, do you have high-quality tourism resources in Ximen County?" Perhaps because Chen Xing's answer was quite satisfactory to Huang Kunming, Huang Kunming flipped through the information again and asked.

"There must be high-quality tourism resources, the county has recently excavated the waterfall scenic spot, compared with those famous places of interest, it will definitely not be inferior, that is, the traffic from the county to the scenic spot is not very convenient, our county is considering investing in road construction, that is, the funds are insufficient." Seeing Huang Kunming's question, Chen Xing's expression was also perk, if the other party didn't even ask, it meant that his idea of getting support from Huang Kunming had already turned yellow for more than half of it.

Huang Kunming smiled, several counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Haicheng City, he also learned about it, Ximen County's economy ranks second-to-last, compared with several other developed counties and cities, it should be regarded as relatively backward and poor, Ximen County has no money financially, he believes this, but Chen Xing said that the waterfall scenic spot will not be worse than those places of interest in China, Huang Kunming is a little unconvinced, and said with a smile, "You are anxious to get support from the city, how do I know if you are not a princess selling melons, selling and boasting." ”

"Secretary Huang, how dare I blind you to this kind of thing, seeing is believing, Secretary Huang, you can arrange a time to personally come to our Ximen to inspect it, and then you will believe my words." Chen Xing's expression was terrified, but the joy in his heart was even stronger, this was the first time Huang Kunming showed a smile, and it also made the atmosphere no longer so strict.

"Take a trip to your Creek Gate?" Huang Kunming smiled faintly, glanced at Chen Xing, and his expression moved slightly, "I'll take a look at the recent schedule, and if I have the chance, I'll go and see if it's as you said." ”

Chen Xing was overjoyed, nodding his head busily, Huang Kunming didn't say anything to death, and expressed some interest, this is already the best news for Chen Xing, seeing that Huang Kunming's expression is becoming more and more relaxed, Chen Xing can't help but say, "Secretary Huang, here to plan and build a tourist area, relying on the efforts of our county alone, I'm afraid it's all insufficient, I hope the city can give more support." ”

"I knew you were going to ask for money." Huang Kunming glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, "The economic development of Ximen County has been lagging behind, and I also hope that your county can develop, otherwise you will become the city's oil bottle every year, if your Ximen and Xingrong (Haicheng City's economic ranking first poor county) can be equal to the economic aggregate of several other counties and cities, then our Haicheng will rush into the top eight cities in the country." ”

Chen Xing nodded seriously, but from the perspective of Ximen people, Chen Xing couldn't help but be a little indignant, the city's investment in Ximen County is too small, and the focus is on supporting the development of several other developed counties and cities.

Thinking about it, Chen Xing did not say it, that is tantamount to questioning Zhou Mingfang's economic policy, at present, there is a situation of polarization of economic development in more than ten counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Haicheng City, which is inseparable from the city's policies and capital tilt in the past few years, Chen Xing is not ignorant of Zhou Mingfang's governing ideas, Zhou Mingfang should be said to implement the theory of the previous great man, let some people get rich first, and then drive and help the region and people, Zhou Mingfang first wanted to develop several coastal counties and cities with better geographical advantages into more prosperous and powerful before he set out to solve the backward and poor areas, but unfortunately Zhou Mingfang had not completed this goal and had already been transferred out of Haicheng.

Glancing at Huang Kunming, Chen Xing pondered what kind of governing thinking the new party secretary would have, whether to continue to expand and strengthen several major economic towns along the coast, make the polarization bigger and bigger, or start to consciously transfer policies and funds to poor counties.

Coming out of Huang Kunming's office, Chen Xing met Zhao Bin outside the door, the first secretary of the municipal party committee after Chen Xing still politely called Chen Xing's position, Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh, "Secretary Zhao is too polite, you can call me Chen Xing in the future, how can you pay so much attention." ”

"How can that be, wouldn't that be disrespectful to County Magistrate Chen." Zhao Bin shook his head with a smile.

Chen Xing pretended to be unhappy and said, "Secretary Zhao is too unseemly when he says this, if you call me County Magistrate Chen, I will be even more uncomfortable to listen to." ”

"Then I'd be respectful and obey!?" Zhao Bin smiled quietly.

"Secretary Zhao, I hope we can communicate more in the future."

"Of course, County Magistrate Chen is my senior, and I still want to learn more from County Magistrate Chen." Zhao Bin said with a smile.

"Look, what do you call me again." Chen Xing said unhappily.

"yes, yes, look at my mouth again."

The two laughed a few words in the corridor, the two first secretaries of the municipal party committee still did not forget to test each other, Chen Xing looked at the time, smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Bin, this is the municipal party committee, after all, it is not an opportunity to talk and chat, and then find an opportunity to contact each other more in the future.

Coming out of the municipal party committee, it was just about nine o'clock in the morning, and the flight Zhong Ling took arrived at about eleven o'clock, and it was still very early to go to the airport.

"You can drive around, you don't have to sit in the car and wait for me, I'll call when you need to use the car." Before Chen Xinglin got out of the car, he smiled at the driver Zhang Min and the secretary He Qi in front of him.

Walk into the Finance Bureau, this modern financial building has only been completed for less than a year, compared to the old-fashioned buildings of the Ximen County Party Committee and County Government, I don't know how many times better, Chen Xing has some emotion in his heart, some people may think that spending money to build the government's office building is extravagant and wasteful, but in fact, it has to be distinguished and seen, if it is a place like Ximen, the Municipal Finance Bureau has built such a magnificent office building, it is indeed a waste of money, it is not appropriate to advocate, but the place where the economy is developed, Sometimes, government office buildings actually represent the façade of the government from a certain point of view, and cannot be criticized in general.

The director's office is on the third floor, Chen Xing is familiar with the way to walk over, He Ping, the director of the financial bureau, is not to say that whoever wants to see him, Chen Xing was stopped by the staff before he arrived, and asked him who he was looking for, hearing that Chen Xing was looking for the director, and the staff stared at Chen Xing vigilantly as if they were class enemies, asking Chen Xing's name and work unit.

"Well, I'll make a call." Chen Xing shrugged helplessly, these staff members are also responsible, Chen Xing didn't reprimand or do anything, if any person came over, he could go to the director's office at will, and then let the director of the bureau not work, not to mention the key department of the Finance Bureau, I don't know how many people have to come here every day to do things.

He Ping received a call from Chen Xing and walked out of the office in person, the staff member who stopped Chen Xing saw the big boss walking out, his head was also turning very fast, knowing that the identity of the person in front of him was not ordinary, his face was replaced with a smiling face, and he made a respectful gesture.

"Chen Xing, a rare guest." When He Ping saw Chen Xing, he was obviously a little surprised, but also a little happy, and enthusiastically invited Chen Xing to the office.

"I went to the municipal party committee early in the morning, and I just came out of the municipal party committee, so I want to come to your office to sit down, so I won't blame me for disturbing your work." Chen Xing half-jokingly.

"Oh, you just came out of the municipal party committee?" He Ping was slightly stunned and stared at Chen Xing.

"Our county plans to plan and build a tourist area, and we went to the municipal party committee to report to Secretary Huang, hoping to get the support of the city." Chen Xing smiled and said simply.

He Ping nodded with relief and said with a smile, "If the city approves it, I don't need to say much about it, and I will definitely allocate the money to your county as soon as possible." ”

"Even if the city doesn't approve it, I can count on the bureau to give our county a little support." Chen Xing smiled.

When He Ping heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Brother Chen Xing, you are too much to promote me, if I am the mayor, then I won't say anything, your county needs to be funded, I will approve it immediately, but we are just the director, in the eyes of others, I am the leader of the Finance Bureau is very beautiful, but I don't know that my life is not easy, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that I am walking on thin ice, if I am not careful, the position under the butt will have to be translocated." ”

Chen Xing was silent, and did not feel that He Ping's words were exaggerated, Zhou Mingfang left Haicheng to take office in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, many people call the current period as the post-Zhou Mingfang era, the life of the Zhou people in Haicheng is not easy, Mayor Zhao Yiping has been at odds with Zhou Mingfang before, as for Huang Kunming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, no one knows what Zhou Mingfang's successor has in mind, it is conceivable that the status of the previous Zhou camp like He Ming and other stalwarts of the Zhou camp is now going to be affected. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Mingfang was still in an important position in the province, I am afraid that some people would already want to move these people in the Zhou family.

"Brother Chen Xing, don't think too much, if the city supports you to build a tourist area, the Finance Bureau will definitely allocate funds to your county as soon as possible." He Pingfu said again.

Chen Xing hurriedly said, "Then thank you He." ”

"Look at what you said, we don't have to be so polite between us." He Ping smiled and waved his hand.

The two chatted, and mentioned Yuanjiang as they spoke, He Ping said very regretfully, "Since Secretary Zhou left, I have very little contact with Minister Yuanjiang, and there will be occasional opportunities to drink tea and chat in the past, but I haven't met for a while, during which I called him twice and asked him to come out to sit, and he found a reason to refuse, and he never thought that something would happen to him at that time." ”

"Xing Tiande's case, I don't know when it will come to an end." Chen Xing sighed, Yuanjiang was finally dismissed because of the case involving Xing Tiande, judging from the recent fact that Yuan Jiang was also taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it can be vaguely seen that the provincial leaders are not soft on this case at all, and have the intention of digging deeper, as if they did not take into account that Xing Tiande had been Zhou Mingfang's secretary, which made Chen Xing not understand, it stands to reason that Zhou Mingfang is becoming more and more important and promoted, and in Xing Tiande's case, the province should be able to point to the end, but the current situation is incomprehensible.

Although Zhou Mingfang is already the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee and is in charge of the first key department of the party committee, he has to avoid suspicion in this case and can't say anything.

"Hehe, this Xing Tiande, if you go in by yourself, you will go in, and you will harm others." He Ping said with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Xing nodded, didn't say anything more, the two talked about Qi Yixuan, the secretary general of the municipal government, this is also a brightly colored Zhou official, Zhou Mingfang was transferred from the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee to the secretary general of the municipal government on the eve of his transfer from Haicheng, who would have thought that Zhou Mingfang would leave Haicheng so soon, Qi Yixuan's days in the city government were also more sad because of Zhou Mingfang's departure, in the face of the strong mayor Zhao Yiping, Qi Yixuan could only be said to be trying to survive in the cracks.

The two were talking, someone knocked at the door, He Ping said please come in, and it was Lu Fang, executive deputy director of the Finance Bureau, who came in, Chen Xing recognized the other party, smiled and nodded at the other party, Lu Fang saw that someone was there, and immediately stood at his feet, "There are guests in He Bureau, then I will come back later." Lu Fang said very neatly and turned his head to go out.

He Ping glanced at Lu Fang's back, didn't say anything, but his smile became more and more bitter, Chen Xing asked tentatively why, He Ping said some reasons with a wry smile, saying that he was also a mouse in the bellows, in a dilemma, not pleasing on both sides, in an extremely embarrassing situation, Huang Kunming did not move him, Zhao Yiping may move him, and vice versa, even if he was afraid of Zhou Mingfang in the provincial capital, it was impossible to let him sit in such an important position as the leader of the Finance Bureau for a long time, of course, there is another possibility, That is to put him as the director of the bureau in the air, in name only.

"Has he gotten the news?" Chen Xing was shocked, He Ping can be the director of the financial bureau, not to mention that his hands and eyes are all over the world, but he must also be extremely well-informed, since he said such a thing, it will definitely not be untargeted.

In this regard, He Ping's explanation is that the city is planning to reappoint the executive deputy director of the Finance Bureau, and he has received news that Mayor Zhao Yiping has found a candidate to replace Lu Fang, the executive deputy director of the current bureau, which is a nail that Zhao Yiping is ready to embed in the Finance Bureau.

When Chen Xing heard He Ping's words, he could only smile helplessly, these people seem to be high and powerful in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the city leaders, they are actually nothing, and they are even more helpless about the city's decisions, and Zhou Mingfang in the provincial capital, although he holds important positions, he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, and Zhou Mingfang is not good at interfering in Haicheng's political affairs now.
